People wanted the world to be a story, because stories had to sound right and they had to make sense. People wanted the world to make sense. -Terry Pratchett Two years ago, I went blind in my right eye. It started with a flicker in my periphery and then my vision became warped and I developed a chronic headache. I was in the last trimester of my pregnancy with my daughter. After she was born, I went to one ophthalmologist, then another. Finally, I sat across from a young retina specialist who scooted his wheeled stool close to face me and told me I had a uveal melanoma that was leaking fluid and causing my retina to detach. My first question was, “Will my vision ever go back to normal?” And he replied, “Maybe, but that’s not going to be the biggest priority now. We have to treat the tumor first.”
